Telecommunications company, Telecel Group, has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Ghana, announcing plans to expand investment in the country’s digital infrastructure while supporting key national development initiatives.
The assurance was given during a courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama by a high-level delegation from the multinational telecommunications company to discuss its business operations and future investment plans in the country.
The delegation was led by the Chairman of the Telecel Group Board, Nicolas Bourg, Group Chief Executive Officer, Moh Damush, and the Chief Executive Officer of Telecel Ghana, Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai.
They were accompanied by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George.
Speaking during the meeting, Mr. Damush commended the government for creating a favourable business environment, saying the company’s investment drive this year would focus on improving connectivity and enhancing service delivery across the country.
“We acknowledge and appreciate the conducive business environment in Ghana, made possible by strategic government policies. For Telecel, 2026 is a year of significant network expansion as we invest to improve connectivity and deliver better services to customers across the country,” he said.
Beyond expanding its telecommunications infrastructure, Telecel said it would continue to invest in digital education, healthcare and other initiatives aimed at strengthening the nation’s digital economy.
Responding, President Mahama reaffirmed his government’s commitment to maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment that encourages private sector investment and business growth.
He said the administration remained focused on creating the enabling conditions for businesses to expand their operations and contribute to Ghana’s economic development.
As part of its partnership with government, Telecel highlighted its support for the One Million Coders Programme, under which it will invest US$5 million over the next four years to train 100,000 young Ghanaians in digital skills to help build the country’s digital talent pipeline.
The company also outlined its support for the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (Mahama Cares), through which it has donated advanced cervical cancer screening equipment and consumables to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the Tamale Teaching Hospital and the Sefwi Wiawso Government Hospital to improve screening and treatment services.
